 Pioneer School

 * __Interview with Moya Sharpe__

****The Pioneer Village has been built over 20 years and they are still adding to the village over the next years. A Medical History building is under construction now, it opened in 1984. Miss Sharpe, who runs the Pioneer village, has always been interested in history. She set up the Pioneer village so students could not only learn about the past but they could also live it out and find out wat it was like in the pioneer days! They have Heritage day to raise money to cover the costs for more things to improve the school. They had lots of Parents, friends and teachers help along the way! There are 11 buildings. The Gaol, Selectors hut, Blacksmith's, Commosariott, School, Sharpes Drapery, Post & Telegraph office, Mill shed, Coffee shop, General store and the Wash house! They love doing the role playing and love taking on the part of a soldier, comvict or settler. I think they enjoy it and it makes it easier for them to take in the things they've learned and they have fun at the same time. Miss Sharpe loves teaching students about the past and really enjoys it when she sees her students having fun but learning at the same time.**
